Comptia Project + Project Management

Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.

5. Significant point or event in the project






6. The process of confirming human resource availability and obtaining team necessary to complete project assignments






7. Total costs actually incurred and recorded in accomplishing work performed during a given time period for a schedule activity or work breakdown structure component. actual cost can sometimes be direct labor hours alone - direct costs alone - or all c






8. Work breakdown structure component below the control account with known work content but without detailed schedule activities.






9. An estimating technique that uses the values of parameters - such as scope - cost - budget - and duration or measures of scale such as size - weight - and complexity from a previous similar activity as the basis of estimating the same parameter or me






10. Any of all external environmental factors and internal organizational environmental factors that surround or influence the projects success. these factors are from any or all of the enterprises involved in the project and include organizational cultu






11. Calculation of the early start and early finish dates for the uncompleted portions of all network activities

13. Any item - internal or external - that is required by a process before that process proceeds






14. Subdivision (fragment) of a project schedule network diagram - usually representing a subproject or work package.






15. Documented direction to perform an activity that can reduce the probability of negative consequences associated with project risks






16. Logical relationship where initiation of the work of the successor schedule activity depends upon the initiation of the work of the predecessor schedule activity






17. Analysis. a statistical technique that calculates the average outcome when the future includes scenarios that may or may not happen. used in decision tree analysis.






18. The right to apply project resources - expend funds - make decisions or give approvals






19. Logical relationship where initiation of work of the successor activity depends on the completion of work of the predecessor activity






20. Identifying and documenting relationships among project activities






21. Developing an approximation of the monetary resources needed to complete project activities






22. Reviewing all change requests - approving changes - and managing changes to the deliverables - organizational process assets - project documents and project management plan






23. Response to a negative risk that has occurred - workaround is not planned in advance of the occurrence of the risk event






24. Method of resolving the total variance in the set of scope - cost - and schedule variables into specific component variances that are associated with defined factors affecting scope - cost and schedule variables






25. Deliverable that is subject to approval by the project sponsor or customer






26. A component of work performed during the course of a project






27. The latest possible point in time that a schedule activity maybe completed based upon schedule network logic - the completion date and any constraints assigned to the schedule activities without violating a schedule constraint or delaying the project






28. An estimating technique that uses a statistical relationship between historical data and other variables (sq. foot in construction - lines of code in software development) to calculate an estimate for activity parameters such as scope - cost - budget






29. Narrative description of products - services or results






30. A diagram that describes a decision under consideration and the implications of choosing one or another of the available alternatives. it is used when some future scenarios or outcomes of actions are uncertain. it incorporates probabilities and costs






31. A mutually binding agreement that obligates the seller to provide the specified product or service or result and obligates the buyer to pay for it






32. An organizational placement strategy where the project team members are physically located close to one another in order to improve communication - working relationships and productivity






33. Analytical procedure in which each potential failure mode in every component of a product is analyzed to determine its effect on the reliability of that component and - by itself or in combination with other possible failure modes - on the reliabilit






34. Summary level schedule that identifies the major schedule milestone






35. Process which generates hundreds or thousands of probable performance outcomes based on probability distributions for cost and schedule on individual tasks. the outcomes are used to generate a probability distribution for a project as a whole.






36. Analyzing activity sequences - durations - resource requirements and schedule constraints to create the project schedule






37. The smallest unit of time used in scheduling a project. calendar units are generally in hours - days - or weeks - but can also be in quarters years - months - shifts - or even minutes






38. Tracking - reviewing - regulating the progress to meet the performance objectives defined in the project management plan






39. An artifact that is produced - is quantifiable and can be either an end item in itself or a component item

41. Identifying and documenting project roles - responsibilities - and required skills - reporting relationships and creating a staffing management plan.






42. The process of finalizing all activities across all of the project management process groups to formally complete the project or phase






43. Continuously improving and detailing a plan as more detailed and specific information and more accurate estimates become available as the project progresses and thereby producing more accurate and complete plans that result from the successive iterat






44. Implementing risk response plans - tracking identified risks - monitoring residual risks - identifying new risks and evaluating risk process throughout the project






45. Any form of schedule network analysis in which scheduling decisions are driven by resource constraints






46. Group of related schedule activities aggregated at some summary level and displayed as a single activity at that summary level. same as summary activity.






47. Measure of schedule efficiency on a project. ratio of earned value (EV) and the planned value (PV). SV = EV minus PV.






48. Application of knowledge - skills - tools and techniques to project activities to meet the project requirements






49. Analytical technique that uses three cost or duration estimates to represent optimistic - most likely and pessimistic scenarios.






50. A source of variation that is inherent in the system and predictable. on a control chart - it appears as part of the random process variation and is indicated by random pattern of points within the control limits. also referred to as random cause
